Question

Which two details about sequoia trees are correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) They are some of the oldest living things on the planet.

B) They are a type of redwood tree.

Explanation:

The giant sequoia is one of the three species of redwoods. Redwoods belong to coniferous trees, which means that they have needle-like leaves that do not turn red, yellow, and orange in the fall nor fall off. Some of these trees are the oldest living beings on the planet (one of them is over 3500 years old). Despite the size of the tree (the tallest one is 311 feet tall), its roots do not reach deep, only 12 to 14 feet. The climate the giant sequoia is usually found in is humid, with dry summers and snowy winters.

Based on these facts, we can conclude that only statements A and B are correct.
